About Me

I conduct research in the areas of corporate finance, international finance, securities issuance and international financial markets. I have published papers in the Journal of Corporate Finance, the Financial Review, Applied Financial Economics, and Journal of Multinational Financial Management, to mention a few. I am also active in the finance profession as paper presenter and discussant. I presented papers at annual meetings of the Financial Management Association, Eastern Finance Association, Midwest Finance Association, Global Finance Association and Northeast Business and Economics Association.

As a result of my significant scholarly contributions, I am requested to review scholarly articles for journals. I reviewed papers for Applied Financial Economics, Journal of Banking and Finance, The Financial Review, Journal of Corporate Finance, Eurasian Economic Review, Business and Politics and African Journal of Business Management. I am also on the editorial board of American Journal of Economics and Business Administration.

I use results of my scholarly activities in my teachings. I share with my students results of my research papers. In my International Financial Management class, I share the results of my paper on European equity market integration following the adoption of the euro and the cross-country diversification opportunities within the euro countries. In my equity market analysis class I share my research papers on various topics that involve analysis of company fundamentals and the influence of external economic factors on company performance. My students always beat the general market index in the performance of the student managed Charger Portfolio.
